Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How did the doctor respond when the patient said "Doctor, doctor, I can't stop trembling"?

Answer: I'll be with you in a couple of shakes.

The shakes is another term for tremors or shivers. People who have the shakes are either nervous, or it could be an indication they are feeling unwell.
2. "Doctor, doctor, what are my chances of losing weight?" How did the doctor reply?

Answer: Slim, madam.

The majority of overweight people would like to be slim, even if it means making lifestyle changes to eat more healthily and therefore reduce excess weight. This could take either weeks or months, all depending on how much weight has to be lost.
3. How did the doctor answer when the patient asked, "Doctor, doctor, will my measles improve by next week?"

Answer: I can't make any rash promises.

A rash is a blemish or marking on the skin which is sore and red. A rash promise is something which is suggested hastily without any forethought, sometimes causing distress for whoever is on the receiving end.
4. "Doctor, doctor, I've got wind! Can you give me something for it?" What was the response?

Answer: Of course...here's a kite!

People with flatulence suffer with wind, or excess air leaving the body. People who fly a kite need a windy day so that the air flow gives lift to the thinly covered framework.
5. "Doctor, doctor, I'm boiling up!" the patient exclaimed. What answer did he receive back from the doctor?

Answer: Just simmer down!

Simmer is a cooking method to cook items, normally vegetables, by boiling gently in hot water at an even rate. A person who angers very slowly is said to simmer. Left unchecked, the person can easily became angry, or even violent, to let off steam.
6. "Doctor, doctor, I've broken my arm in two places," cried the patient in pain. What conclusion did the doctor come to?

Answer: Well, don't go back there again.

Breaking an arm can be extremely painful, especially if the bone is fractured. The patient in this joke broke his arm in two separate locations, i.e. the garage and the kitchen, and not two separate places, i.e. elbow and wrist.
7. "Doctor, doctor, my little girl has just swallowed a roll of film!" How did the doctor reply?

Answer: Let us hope nothing develops.

People who are ill hope that they soon recover back to full health, and their symptoms do not develop over time into a serious illness. This is why it is best to check with their medical practitioner if they are concerned so that tests can be carried out.
8. "Doctor, doctor, I feel like a pair of curtains." What feedback was he given from the doctor?

Answer: Pull yourself together!

Some people who are upset are often told to "pull themselves together." This is another way of asking them to get control of their emotions. The phrase can often be said harshly, and this has the opposite effect of what is intended, causing the recipient to become even more upset.
9. "Doctor, doctor, I keep seeing an insect spinning around." What was the doctor's reply?

Answer: It's only a bug that's flying around!

Bugs are often seen flying around, but the type which can cause illness are so tiny and miniscule that they are not visible to the naked eye. As an example, a stomach bug can be ingested on food without being known, and can cause a number of symptoms including cramps or diarrhoea.
10. How did the doctor respond when the man said, "Doctor, doctor you have to help me out!"?

Answer: Of course, which way did you come in?

We normally visit a doctor to ask for medical help, but the way the patient phrased the question was taken out of context. The doctor thought he needed directions to help him exit the building.
